_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function provides a simpler interface to the 'grid.pack()'
     function.  This can be used to place objects within the existing
     rows and columns of a frame layout.  You lose the ability to add
     new rows and columns and you lose the ability to affect the
     heights and widths of the rows and columns, _but_ you avoid some
     of the speed penalty of dealing with frames without having to
     specify a complicated combination of arguments to 'grid.pack'.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     grid.place(frame, grob, grob.name="", draw=TRUE, row=1, col=1)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   frame: An object of class 'frame', typically the output from a call
          to 'grid.frame'. 

    grob: An object of class 'grob'.  The object to be packed. 

grob.name: The name of the grob within the frame.  This is crucial if
          you intend to access the object again, for example, to edit
          it.

    draw: A boolean indicating whether the output should be updated. 

     row: Which row to add the object to.  Must be between 1 and
          the-number-of-rows-currently-in-the-frame. 

     col: Which col to add the object to.  Must be between 1 and
          the-number-of-cols-currently-in-the-frame.
